UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Faculty are welcome and encouraged to enter their own information into Activity Insight. They are the most familiar with their professional activities and this can help to make the process efficient. Additional information, including a Data Entry Guide, is available here. There are also screen shots and directions about how to enter some items on this page.
CV Imports allows you to enter your data quickly, accurately, and directly from your CV or another document, by selecting and highlighting key areas of your CV that tie to specific screens and fields within Activity Insight. Once the highlighting is complete, you can follow the quick and easy steps to review, validate, and confirm your entries.
This quick 5-minute video gives an overview of how to use the CV Imports feature. You can also find detailed instructions on how to use this feature in the CV Imports User Guide.
New faculty and instructional staff can request that student workers from the Associate Provost's Office enter data and information initially. Chairs may also forward CVs for staff who have departed from the university (e.g. retired or resigned). In such cases, staff should send an updated CV by including it as an attachment in an email to the Activity Insight Administrator. Here is what must be included as minimum requirements to have students enter data:
After CV information is entered, faculty must be willing to proof the student's work. Every reasonable effort is made to ensure items are entered in the right places but it is sometimes the case that folks label the same item differently, for example, or items can appear to be confusing to folks not in a specific, disciplinary field. The Associate Provost's Office will return a copy of the CV that was submitted, with comments on those items that were either unclear or required additional information to enter into Activity Insight.
